Re: pope indicated Islam as a fearsome thing for europe
i dont know about this!?!
i think catholics are defintely more left of center, and amongst the christians definetely the more open-minded bunch!!!
we need solidarity with our catholic betheren! they are the only ones not propagating hate against ISLAM!
although there is i have noted a concerted and almost it seems deliberate effort made to demonize the catholics for us Muslims!
I think it is to create a discord b/t Muslims and catholics b/c they seem to be working together well! additionally Catholics are an orgnized religion, and are feared by alot because of that
thier top down heirarchy has made them immune to being hijaked by the propaganda of the religiuous right. They can not be manipulated by corporations either! Thats why you will usllay find the catholic shurch come out making public statements of peace with Muslims, appreciating the Muslim faith, speaking against hte violence in Iraq and Palestine, speaking agsinst the oppression by Israel, which is aLOT more then i can say for any other Christian sect!!
All in all, there is a concerted and deliberate effort to demonize the catholic church!
I think catholics by in large are open-minded and more tolerant then any other christain sect! They have a desire to work amicably with Muslims! and we should encourage this diolgue!
Those that want to see discord b/t catholics and Muslism should not be allowed to be succesful in their efforts to demonize catholics to the Mulsim ppl who in tunr come our and start hating catholics and ruin our good relations wiht them!!!
SO CATHOLICS AND POPE GOOD PPL!!!
they are our friends! not our enemies as some would like to portray! dont buy into the propaganda!
